These people have never played a tabletop game in their lives and I'm not sure they even know what a tabletop looks like.Rand wrote: ↑ June 28th, 2024, 06:51

Can't wait to start a campaign where a tavern doesn't have a disability ramp as required by the Faerun building regulations and we get to shut them down until a ramp is installed!Rand wrote: ↑ June 28th, 2024, 06:51

Oh FFS! I can count how many ******* play D&D on one hand and still have fingers left over.Rand wrote: ↑ June 28th, 2024, 06:51

Rob Kuntz, the last living author of the OD&D material, is not happy with WotC's 50th anniversary preface.

Not that I will buy a D&D 6e (nor 5.5/2024) anyway, but from now on it'll be pirating or buying used stuff of 3.5 as well. Not a single dime more into the pockets of these DEI psychopaths at WotC.

All I'm reading here is "Stranger Things gave us the Jewish opening we needed to sell slop to normies, and now we are a virtuous company only. Please black people, buy our ****!"

Despicable ***-clowns.
They should be barred from RPGs and taken out somewhere and literally scourged for a day.

JD has been talking to Rob on Twitter and apparently Rob is considering suing for slander/libel (who knows whether that's actually going to happen of course).
I would say "speak for yourself" to the DEI sycophants who have written the foreword. If slavery and misogynism were parts in their own games, that's a problem they should sort out themselves, rather than blame everyone else who played (A)D&D in the "early days" (pre-WotC). Slavery was never a part in any games/campaigns I ran or was a player in, and there was absolutely no difference whatsoever between female player characters and male ones. Granted, player characters are not the common people of the world, so in a fantasy medieval setting there were big-bosomed serving wenches (that's a term in literature and historical fact, not intended as "derogatory" or "dehumanizing" or what else the libtards think) who could be quite seductive - or, they could be "bit players" that said nothing except "what'll it be" and then fetch the beverage in question (mostly beer, given the fantasy medieval setting).Rand wrote: ↑ July 10th, 2024, 13:47Hard case to prove in the USA.
Hasbro will probably give them legal funding, too.

If you had told me that the first picture from the top was from some randomass MARVEL "What if..?" version of Storm, I would have believed you. lmfaoRand wrote: ↑ June 28th, 2024, 06:51
It used to be allowed by our games, but... it was done as "unskilled" which meant that if they attempted, they were rolling multiple failure sub rolls that are normally handled with a single skill success.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ March 4th, 2023, 04:23How do you climb a wall as a fighter in AD&D?MadPreacher wrote: ↑ March 4th, 2023, 04:02Every DM I've met that has run Generic Fantasy Superhero RPG the 3rd Point X ******** has said the same thing. If you don't have the skill/feat you can't do the action.
What you're advocating for is nothing more than theater with the occasional dice roll.► Show Spoiler

Even before the extreme pozzlification of current DnD, I was only interested in 3.5 edition anyways because I felt that the mainstream 5e was way too "dumbed down" for my nerd taste.
Now i likewise only get myself 3.5 edition and some 1st Pathfinder edition on the side.
I agree 100% I think it's really interesting that the dude who created this **** had the mentality then that is desperately needed today.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ July 10th, 2024, 17:23He's right.Zothique wrote: ↑ July 10th, 2024, 17:21
The answer to the accusation of "You are sexist/racist/homophobic/bigoted/etc.," is: Yes.

What the WotC f**kheads have done here is basically **** upon the grave of Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson and the others, and try to rewrite history where now there never was a "true, inclusive" D&D until now. I really hope mr. Kuntz sues their asses off.
And I strongly encourage those who know the libtards who wrote this sh**t to make sure these f**kers don't get to write any obituaries - they'll probably **** upon their friends' graves too, if they can make money by doing so.![]()

I legit asked what the issue was in a lefty discord server I used to frequent, and the only excuse I received was "the topic may trigger some people so it's better to pretend slavery never existed in any fictional setting".Rand wrote: ↑ July 10th, 2024, 23:40I still don't see the problem.

Like wtf, the topic is supposed to be banned in fictional media yet lefties sure love to bring the topic over and over again in the real world when they yell about "reparations" for stuff that happened over a century ago. lol
